It's all about time. I was super excited that MC opened a new store in Santa Clara. Waiting for Black Friday and Christmas to build my PC for once in a long time. Damn, the RAM and everything AI bubble cause the cost to rocket and crushed that plan.

Now it's back to the waiting game and using my 5 year old rig.

Corporations did not care about customers, it's all the high margin profit for the AI purchase orders they are after.

Good deal if you need ddr5 with the bundle but this was 219 for just the motherboard and cpu last week. So $100 for a single stick. I think I saw they are allowing you to add ram kits to any cpu for $200.

A bundle with a single stick (for single-channel memory) is nuts. I thought it would be 2x8GB when I clicked.

It could be fixed within 12 months. If not, we get to become grandmasters at the waiting game.

Agree.

Selling a bundle with a single stick is some kind of nonsense Newegg would do.

Thinking to get this for my 8 year old for his first gaming rig. We don't have any other parts, does it make sense to get this and buy all the other components or is there a pre-built I should consider instead. Trying to keep the total under $1000

With the market being what it is, it's probably better in the long run for him to get a prebuilt. There are still some decent deals for them, but parts are getting more expensive l, where even the 2nd hand market is following the trend.

Debating on the Newegg bundle I got for $400 or this. It's for a HTPC/storage for my old 2.5/3.5 drives.

- ASUS B850 MAX GAMING WIFI W - AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard, White PCB, DDR5, PCIe 5.0 Ready, 3x M.2, Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5Gb LAN, USB 10Gbps Type-C, DisplayPort, HDMI
- Team Group 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Memory Model FF4D516G6000HC38ADC01
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X - Ryzen 5 9000 Series Granite Ridge (Zen 5) 6-Core 3.9 GHz - Socket AM5 65W
- Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240L Core 240mm Close-Loop AIO Liquid Cooler


It's going in my old Corsair C70 Vengeance case and a 1080ti. I'm not keen on the free Cooler Master cooler, but is this worth the $80 difference? (Correction, $50 difference after micro center tax)

I'm not a motherboard expert. Maybe B850 (non-E) technically has worse PCIe 5.0 support?

Getting dual-channel RAM in the bundle is arguably a better proposition than a single stick that you would end up mixing with some other random stick for suboptimal performance later. And that's actually reflected in price differences on Newegg, with some of the 1x16GB sticks being $20 cheaper than 2x8GB kits.

Finally, the 9600X isn't delivering much more performance than the 7600X, but it is faster while being at a lower 65W TDP for great efficiency at stock. It seems like a good choice for HTPC/NAS/gaming:
